Hello again my new and exciting friends! Welcome to chapter 2. Now in our last chapter Canada finally got some love from the other nations. Now here are the nations that have taken America's challenge.
England- still thinks there are just 13 and he thinks he can handle them
France- England went and he needs to prove him self better
Japan- Curiosity to see America with out Alfred around
China- Japan went
Canada- . . . well America made him
Russia- It was a challenge
Germany- Same reason as Russia different attitude
Italy *north* -Germany went
If you want any one ells to show up let me know! :D
Oh, on a more serious note, serious issue addressed, I did my best to do it with out insulting any one. -_- I hope I did a good job and my hart to all those affected.
Big Apple
England, France, Japan, Germany, Canada, China, Russia, and Italy all stood in the Time Square . Japan felt mildly comfortable here since Tokyo looks like Time Square everywhere a person goes. Everyone ells, not as much.
"Eh Germany look it! There are two big stores for candy!" Italy said pointing to M&M world and Hershey chocolate across the street.
"Yes Italy. Now everyone remembers the rules right. Each state has been given an object and our challenge is to retrieve that object. It we can collect all 50 in 6 months, then we win the challenge. We are not aloud to hurt the states in any way, or apparently America will tear us limb from limb. Using a history video on the Mongols apparently."
Russia shuttered a bit, remembering his lovely childhood of hiding in the woods.
Canada quickly spoke up, "I can recognize al the states so I can start looking for New York. Iggy do you think you can remember well enough what New York looks like to help?"
England nodded, "Of coarse I can, he was my head courters in the Revelation."
"Have you seen him since?" Canada asked.
England did not reply to that and Canada shook his head.
Japan asked, "Excuse me Canada but how much has New York changed since then? I know in my country that several places have not been changed in centuries."
Canada was about to reply when he saw New York across the street. New York was dressed in a graphic tee shirt with a denim jacket and jeans. The tee shirt was black with a skull and cross bones on the front. His jeans were baggy and he wore very dark sunglasses. His hair was messy and spiked up. Around his neck was a chain with the Star of David at the end.
The only problem was, he was at one side of the street, and all of the other nations were on the other.
"There is New York!" Canada said pointing to the state.
England paled, "That is New York? The well up to date little gentlemen has become. . . that?"
Canada nodded and China looked at him.
"He looks fine aru." China said, "Perhaps he knows where a Chinese Restaurant is though Aru."
"Well how do we reach him over there the traffic is crazy? I am not going to risk my life over a little contest." France said.
By this time Italy and Germany had crossed the street and were happily talking with New York.
"Veh? You have a Little Italy here?" Italy asked happily, "That is so cool! Germany they have an area full of Italians and dedicated a town area to them! So cool veh!"
New York shrugged, "No big deal man. It is how we role up here. You want that item America gave me right? For that random contest thing he was shouting about?"
Germany nodded, "Yes. It is what we came here for is there something we must do to achieve the item from you?"
New York thought about it for a moment, "Eh, go see a Broadway Show. I don't want my bros to shout at me for doing nothing, but knowing where you are headed next. Might as well give you something easy enough. When you are all done seeing a show meet me at Ground 0, I need to pay another trip there again and will probable still be there . . . hard for me to look at it, but I need to remind myself and it has been a while." The last bit was mumbled but was loud enough the other two heard it.
Germany nodded at the State, who started to walk off.
The two went back over to the other Countries.
"We know how to retrieve the item from New York. He was in a rush to get some where so he says to go see a play before we meet with him again." Germany said.
"We should go to Little Italy Germany! I want to see!" Italy said still distracted by his discovery, "They should have pasta there!"
"I say we see Madam Butterfly." Japan said, "I have seen it before and it is very good."
"No my friend, Le Misarabe!" France countered.
Soon all the countries were fighting for a play or musical from their own country when Germany had an idea.
"How about we see the play none of us have seen before. Has any one here seen 13?" Germany asked.
The group shook their heads.
"Then that is the play we will see. Italy you may for to Little Italy for dinner tonight." Germany said to Italy who was still complying about the fact they were not going there.
"Yay! Germany will come with me right?" Italy said happily.
In the next hour everyone had somehow gotten tickets and was in the theater as the show started.
"Hello," the actor on stage said, a 13-year-old kid with brown hair and average cloths, "My name is Evan Goldman, I live at 224 West 92 Street in the hart of Manhattan, and my life just went to hell."
The lights flashed and the stage filed with kids all of whom were 13 the band was visible in the back of the set and was a very good youth band playing on your classic band instruments. Evan starts singing the first number.
Picture me just another cool kid in NYC, near the park and the Met
Life is sweet, Yankees in the Bronx, pretzels on the street, just how good can it get?
*England was smiling a little bit the actor reminding him of America when he was little. *
Who'd have guess Dad would meet a stewardess?
Mom's depressed and her lawyers are mean
Now I'm stressed, life is a disaster
And I'm cracking from the strain, going totally insane
And I'm just about to turn
Just about to turn
Just about to turn
All:
Thirteen!
The rest of the song continues and at the very end of it Evan has explained that he wants his barmitsfa to be absolutely perfect. Just as he finished handing out the invites, he is forced to move to Appleton Indiana, depicted as a baron wasteland. At the very least, Italy felt, he had a friend with Patrice. Who Italy was very pleased to find had the next song. After a large number of events though the play ended with lessons learned. *The author stopped typing the entire play, Google it and imagine reactions because this will take up to much space. *
After the play everyone was rather satisfied.
"Hmm, good play, if all of America's kids are as easy as this we should have everything in a week." England said, "Where did he say to meet him when we were done."
Germany looked at England and said plainly, "Ground 0."
England paled having heard about that and became much more serious along with Japan and Canada Russia, China, Italy, and France looked a bit confused.
"Veh? Germany where is that any way." Italy asked.
". . . a very sad place Italy. Lets go and get this over with." Canada said.
Canada went to a store and quickly bought a dozen roses. When the group made it there, those who did not realize what Ground 0 was at mention figured it out quickly.
The Twin Tower sight, and New York was sitting in front of it just kind of facing the wall.
Canada sat down beside him and gave him the roses.
"Hey Uncle Mat. Thanks." New York got up and faced the group; everyone was surprised to see his face without the glasses on. New York's eyes were scared and swollen shut, almost sown closed. "Anyone see my sunglasses lying around. I took them off and can't find them. "
Canada handed him the glasses and New York looked fine again.
"Just the part that got messed up, on the mend though so I am good." New York said, "Sorry bout that now here is what you seek."
New York handed Canada a large Golden Apple.
"Thanks Neil." Canada said.
Italy tackled New York, "AHHH NEW YORK YOUR EYES!"
Germany removed Italy, "He is like that, I apologies for him. "
New York shrugged, "Well I am off, enjoy your contest dudes. Oh and England, been a while man. Every thing good with you? FYI Massachusetts still has it in for your soul and stuff. Be carful there man."
"Will do thank you."
New York wandered off into his City.
The first prize had been won, and it was bitter sweet.
